Day 22. Details & Giveaway

Hello hello!! How are you? Can you believe it’s Day 22!! …. I am a little bummed I have a bad head cold and will be cooking for 18 people on Thanksgiving. I’m praying that it clears up fast so I don’t have to wash my hands fifty million times when I am prepping.

When I saw these “Beautiful Baubles” from Newton’s Nook …. I knew I had to have some fun with them & it was the prefect day to color something fun when I was not feeling good. You might be wondering where this lovely scalloped frame from? It’s a Pretty Pink Posh die cut.

Just some easy coloring without any shading (inside the ornaments) was in order. I did add a little shading on the outside on the left side of the baubles.

Just leave a hello in the comment area and I will announce the random winner at the end of the challenge. Good Luck 🙂

Have a wonderful day and see you tomorrow. Hugs, Kathy

P.S.S. If you’re new to the coloring challenge or have any questions about the coloring challenge you can refer to this post.

These are the images I’m going to show my 9-year old niece when we pull out the markers, pens, pencils & images over the holiday. It looks great with just your “plain coloring,” but you are the step-it-up queen. We’ll try to start slowly, for both of us!

What a lousy time to get a cold with all your friends and family around to enjoy. =(
I hope you manage to get better in time for the festivities Kathy.
I love Newton’s Nook and their and namesake kitty images. Generous of them to provide such a great prize.

Hello Kathy,
wow these ornaments are so amazing and your colouring so wonderful. I really love the accents you gave these ornaments with this white gel pen.♥
I hope you get well soon for your thanksgiving diner.
Hugs and greetings
Angela

So sorry to hear you aren’t feeling well. I hope you kick the cold soon! Your coloring is beautiful as always. That white gel pen adds quite the pop. Thanks so much for the inspiration and the challenge. Happy Thanksgiving to you and yours! 🙂

I’m sorry you’re not feeling well. I’ve been sick this past week & am also hoping to be better soon! Blessings on your thanksgiving! I’m grateful that you do this coloring challenge- I love it! Coloring brings me great joy & peace…just what we need to spread this time of year. So thank you. Healing hugs for both of us!

Hello, Kathy! These are adorable little baubles! Thank you for hosting this fun coloring challenge. I haven’t been able to color every day–my out-of-town guests arrived and more on the way to celebrate Thanksgiving. But I have enjoyed it tremendously up until now. It’s been fun connecting with everyone on Instagram, on your blog and watching your youtube videos, as well!

Beautifully colored ornaments. The detailing sure adds to the look. Thankyou to Newtons Nook for their genorosity. I sure hope you feel much better for your Thanksgiving dinner. Happy Thanksgiving to all your family! Hugs

This is gorgeous, Kathy! I love ornaments for Christmas. And I love the way you add so much to them. I really don’t think like that when I am coloring so I have to get more into that because it just adds so much to the image. White and black accents. It’s amazing. Thanks for the inspiration.

Hi Kathy. You always amaze me. I have started outlining my work with black pen. I never thought to outline white gel pen work. Outlining the white gel pen makes the whole card amazing. That is why I read your blog each time. I learn something I missed before. Thanks to you and Newton’s Nook. I do hope you feel better for Thanksgiving and cooking for 18 people.

Gorgeous. I love how just adding an outline with a black pen makes such a difference. And it’s also amazed me how much fun and the personalization that can be made to stamps when using a white gel pen.

Great job. Those ornaments were already gorgeous with your color choices, and then…..ZING!!!! It really is amazing what a difference the white gel pen and black fine liner make. So beautiful. Thanks for all of the inspiration. I truly hope you will get better, feel better, and have a wonderful Thanksgiving with your loved ones.

These ornaments are beautiful! I don’t remember seeing them at Newton’s Nook before, absolutely gorgeous! You’ve coloured them beautifully, and the details you added with the Sharpie and white gel pen really make these baubles look amazing! Very excited about this giveaway – I love Newton’s Nook! Thank you so much!

These ornaments are beautiful,love your colouring ! I would love a chance to try these. Hope your cold clears up soon in time for your visiters, I’m suffering with a rotten cold too at the moment so know how you feel! Xx hugs Tracy

I’m sure you have seen me warm it up on my finger. Some people say to store the pen with nib-down so that the leftover ink in the tip couldn’t dry up and create a plug. i don’t have any problems with my Sugno but you are not the first to hve struggles. There are some remedies online but I haven’t needed them so you might want to check them out. I coldn’t ive without my whiote gel pen. LOL 🙂

Hello, hello, hello! Oh Kathy, I hope you are feeling better QUICK! Cooking for 18 is a HUGE amount of work! (Ask me how I know!) As for washing your hands, 50 million times, I am a chronic hand washer at the best of times ad even more so now!….. (My 4 y/o grandson JUST got out of the children’s hosp. here, {4 days after my Dad’s funeral}, he had a blood infection and a double ear infection and they don’t know how the little guy got it!) Talk about a scary time…. …
However, all is well now, things are becoming ‘normal’ again….Wash your hands as you normally would… cook… relax and enjoy your loved ones…Life is too short to worry about what we can’t control! {{{HUGS}}}}

Oooops, got a little side-tracked…It happens a LOT these days…
Thanks to Newton’s Nook for the generous prize and your card is ADORABLE! TFS and Happy Thanksgiving!

This is the first time I have seen side by side the difference that the black and white pens make on your colored images! I am in love with the extra something something they give to your projects. Thanks for all the fun during this challenge and I hope you feel better!

Seems holidays and feeling sick go hand in hand. My daughter gets sick every Thanksgiving. Feel better quick. Shopping, cooking and cleaning up for that many people is not going to be fun. We have a back up plan if my daughter wakes up and knows she can’t possible do all that…pack it in the car and transport to my house. She can rest and I’ll cook.

I love this stamp and put it on my want list. It reminds me of vintage ornaments that I have that belonged to my grandmother. You have as always colored it gorgeous and the addition of the white is beautiful. Love that die.

I am so sorry you are under the weather. PLEASE take care of yourself! And do not fret if you can’t do all that you want to do. None of us is superwoman: the biggest lie of the 70’s! I promise to forgive you if you don’t share every day if you will take care of Kathy so we can see more of you in the future. :-)) And I adore these stamps. And, yes, of course you had to doodle all over them. Kind of addicting, isn’t it!

MY FAMILY RECENTLY SUFFERED A TRAGEDY…MY GRANDDAUGHTER WAS KILLED WHILE SERVING AS A PALM SPRINGS POLICE OFFICER. MY INTEREST AND DESIRE TO MAKE CARDS JUST SEEMED TO LEAVE ME, BUT SEEING THIS CARD AND HOW BEAUTIFUL IT IS HAS MADE ME WANT TO TRY TO MAKE SOME CARDS AGAIN. THANK YOU FOR SHARING YOUR GOD GIVEN TALENT WITH ALL OF US PAPER CRAFTERS.

I’m so sorry to hear about the loss of your grandaughter. She must have been a very brave woman. I’m sure you were very proud of her. My heart goes out to you. I am so humbled that I made a difference. Take care of yourself. Hugs, 🙂

Beautiful ornaments Kathy! I wish I’d know about these stamps before I finished all my cards – guess I’ll start on next year’s! I want to wish you and your loved ones a wonderful Thanksgiving and Thank You for all that you share with us.

Hello Kathy!
I’m so sorry you are feeling under the weather! If it’still family and friends coming, ask them if they could make/pick-up: a green bean casserole, mashed potatoes, whatever… Most grocery stores selling casseroles and all of the fixings made and sold separately. Or they will make an entire Thanksgiving for 8 for around $65. It does need added cooking, but everything is together and so much easier to handle! Everything from appetizers, to gravy and includes dessert. Of course, you don’t get the 14-16 desserts we have at our family Thanksgiving…we girls like to bake! Just don’t over do it, you don’t want to be sick in bed when you could be visiting with loved ones. Take the Vitamin C and Echinacea, drink hot tea, and rub on the Vicks. I pray you will wake up Wednesday feeling great and energetic!

I love how you colored these very unique ornaments from Newton’s Nook! They look spectacular! It must have taken you forever to get all of that white gel on there, and then teeny black dots on top of the white! Thank you for yet another give-away.

I didn’t see the prize winners on the Altenew Release Blog-hop today. That is where we are supposed to look, right?

By the way, if you have little, white, raised dots on your hands– they probably are not chicken pox. They are probably white gel dots!

Hi Kathy! You’ve coloured the ornaments beautifully, all your little dots make such a difference, in my book you are an amazingly talented colourist and I’ve loved all the challenges, thank you.
Please get well soon, I’m just coming down with a cold too.xx

Gorgeous baubles Kathy ! And wonderful colouring as usual ! And I love your final touch with the dots, your baubles look so much prettier ! For your head cold, did you try the essential oil Ravintsara, one drop in the inside of your wrists, you rub them against each other and you smell it several times in the day ! The smell is strong but this is so efficient !
Thanks for sharing.

Hi Kathy, hope that cold is clearing up. I can see why you fell in love with these stamps, they colour up beautifully and your details with the white gel and black pen finish them off perfectly. Well done

I have had the creeping cruds for a couple of weeks now, I hope yours disappears soon!
I am sending good thoughts your way and wishes for a great family Thanksgiving. Although I live in the U.S. now, I still cannot get used to Thanksgiving in November. Ours (in Canada) is the second Monday in October leaving plenty of time to get ready to celebrate Christmas!

I love your site and always find inspiration along with some giggles – every time! Take Care, Kathy.

I love your creative talent!! It makes me want to stop what I’m doing and go create something!! I love these ornaments and the special flair you give them! Thanks so much for sharing your talent with all of us!

The ornaments are stunning. I love seeing them before the white pen and the black sharpie. You are so inspiring. I did add a card to your challenge and I did the white dots. I wasn’t sure where to add them but I did like the completed look to the card. Thanks again for the inspiration. Sorry you have a cold and hope you got through Thanksgiving ok. Just now catching up on your posts after being gone so not sure if you mentioned it since.
